About Regina
Regina Simon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stress, anger, and LGBT concerns. She also addresses mood challenges, feelings of isolation, and issues around attachment and abandonment.
Regina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her approach, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps name the emotions under those patterns. Conversations focus on understanding feelings, improving communication, and trying practical changes between sessions.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Regina helps clients map out small steps they can try and checks in about what works. She pays attention to how early bonds and attachment shapes current relationships and uses that understanding to guide the work.
Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of personal and relational issues. Common themes she addresses include control and impulsivity, guilt and shame, caregiving stress, and navigating separation or divorce. Regina aims to clarify what matters most to each client and supports them in taking manageable steps forward.
If someone prefers a collaborative, emotion-focused way of working, Regina frames therapy as a series of observed changes and choices. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming the emotions that shape relationship patterns. It helps people recognize what their feelings are trying to tell them and how those feelings affect interactions. This approach is often used when attachment and intimacy are key concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to force them away, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when someone wants clearer direction on what matters and how to act despite difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current behavior and helps people practice new ways of connecting and responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of EFT, ACT, or attachment-focused strategies fits best. Decisions are based on the client's goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions.
